The F7F/Me262 hybrid is nice, but unfortunately the ingredients' proportions do not match.  :-\

What if one were to use 1/48 wings & engines with a 1/72 fuselage?  I don't have any of the needed donor aircraft, so I can't do any trial fitting ...

What if stealth was implemented much earlier from the 1960's? Here's a fanart of a stealth Lockheed F-104 Starfighter. 😉 Credits in pic. ~Clorox. — with Didit Bahariyudha.


It may be an April Fool's, but I think it looks OK.

A crude rendering of a very similar idea ...

Yessssssssssssss, I like that a LOT!  :thumbsup:

It's be a right pain to model, but it'd surely look great.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Yes, it would.  I'd start by slapping lengths of large 'angle iron' top, bottom, and sides, and puttying from there ...  The whole thing would be a putty-monster, pretty much - and I'm not very good at sculpting.

Rather looks like a stealthy Voodoo to me? But it's looking good, at elast from above.  <_<

Hehehe, cracking that.  :thumbsup:

Even without the props it looks good with outward canted fins though.

Oh yes, love taiidantomcat's version!  :thumbsup:

Cant the fins outward and it'd have been PEREFCT!  ;D

OK, that's it, 1/72 Blackbird going on my want list.

Love it.
I assume the props on the rear engines are the right way round.  It's hard to make out.   ;D

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
